I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week.
heat exhaustion = get to a cool place, drink water
heat stroke = get medical attention

On Google shutting down AlphaFold.
If I had £1 for every time a musician or YouTuber I pay attention to came out as trans this year, I'd have like... £15.
It's happened a *lot*.
Why Firefox and Safari ship website-specific bugfixes, and why Chrome doesn't.

Coming to you at ConFuzzled 2026: beeps' Spelling Bee-ps. Saturday 11am in Queens (Second Stage).
Seems kinda appropriate that noodle suit’s first outing is for a trans pride march.

It’s Disability Pride Month and I suppose I should probably acknowledge now more than any other time of year that I’m an anxious, neurodivergent, sleep disordered and partially hard-of-hearing critter; and those aren’t things I should feel the need to compensate for.
That Zoop app that sponsored Eurovision is actually a cryptocoin pretending to be a social network, by the way. Avoid.
I've updated a couple of the user styles I've distributed before to be on GitHub Gists instead. This has the benefit of y'all being able to 'install' them (if using an extension like Stylus) and have them receive updates automatically.

Kinda fucked up zhat we were raised to never share real-life information on za internet for our own safety, and now governments and corporations keep insisting we have to
Crazy how they say it’s the autists who ‘need routine’ when it’s the neurotypicals who insist on having a 9-to-5, five day working week.
I find this funny not just because of the failure of AI, but also the tacit admittance that Microsoft's market strategy is to embed themselves in something early on so that people become dependent, rather than doing that thing better so that people *want* to use them.
Chrome's recent bundling of Gemini with the browser was yet another browser feature that Google decided to ship against the explicit concern and opposition from standards bodies and other browser vendors.
Google has repeatedly abused Chrome's market position to force specifications into existence, encourage developers to use them, and then advertise themselves as being better than other browsers because they support more stuff.
It's really rather annoying that they keep doing this.

Enjoy spending the next two years gradually becoming something else.
I wonder how many Americans know that their units are not the same as imperial units?
1 gallon US = 3,790 cm³
1 gallon imperial = 4,546 cm³
1 ton US = 2000 lbs = 907.18 kg
1 ton imperial = 2240 lbs = 1,016.05 kg
1 pint US = 473.18 mL
1 pint imperial = 568.26 mL
Measures of length (inches, feet, miles) are the same today, but only after the US changed their definitions in 1958 to match the imperial system.

I'm trying to collect together basic info on all of the brony meets and cons that are still running in the UK. Too many of them are now buried in impossible to find Discord servers, let's get some visibility on them!

They frickin' copied my idea of putting furries in a comedy spelling bee whtf
Some ozher screenshots, whilst I'm bozhering to extract zhem.
Question for furries: Is your favourite Pokémon based on the same kind of animal as your fursona (e.g. dragon fursona, favourite is Dragonite)?
And if your fursona is a Pokémon, is that your favourite Pokémon?

I’ve seen this same graffiti (same symbols, colours, marker style and shape) in Bristol, Manchester and now Glasgow. Who’s doing this??
Ahh, another news story about a TERF claiming discrimination because a business didn’t want their custom.
Funny how these people insist that safe spaces can only exist by excluding people, but when someone tries to create a safe space for trans people by excluding them, they complain.
Replying to
They’re doing Eurovision in Asia now, apparently.
Replying to
@hakan_geijer@kolektiva.social Okay, but as I said before, the intent of the graphic is in recognising the symptoms in yourself, and having had several replies on it from people who realised they were having heat stroke because they stopped sweating seems to indicate that it's a useful sign.
Replying to
@hakan_geijer@kolektiva.social The intent of the graphic is that it has all of the frequent symptoms, and specifically those that can easily be determined by the individual. It isn't necessary that someone with heat stroke be exhibiting all of the symptoms simultaneously.
Replying to
@hakan_geijer@kolektiva.social Should also note that the content of the graphic comes from a CDC guide. https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/46730
Replying to
@hakan_geijer@kolektiva.social How is an individual with heat stroke supposed to recognise their current body temperature or that they're not thinking straight?
Replying to
@optozorax@mathstodon.xyz This makes me think about what happens on an atomic level. Like, if you shoved your hand into a portal that is slightly concave on the other end then the atoms in your hand are gonna come out closer to one another than before, right?
Accidental nuclear fusion?
Replying to
@16af93@wetdry.world jsyk this somehow ended up being shared on a UK government slack instance.
Replying to
@hakan_geijer@kolektiva.social I don't disagree that it's not a diagnostic criteria, but it sure seems to be a possible symptom, and one that is clearly indicative of a severe issue.
Like how weird lumps on your breasts aren't a requirement for you to have breast cancer, but are a pretty good sign that something might be wrong.
Wow Estonia's Eurovision entry this year was a banger. Very Avril Lavigne. Shame it didn't qualify for the final.
Replying to
@TheRealNooshu@hachyderm.io Not sure if I should feel proud or worried that I remember doing a lot of these!
